The Electricity Transmission Scorecard Act requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to establish a comprehensive transparency and accountability system for the nation's electricity transmission companies. Transmission utilities must submit biannual performance scorecards measuring 11 key metrics—including costs, reliability, investment decisions, interconnection fairness, and emissions—with grid operators submitting similar annual reports, all published in machine-readable format using standardized methodologies. Independent evaluators must verify all scorecard data before publication, while the Department of Energy will conduct annual performance rankings and comprehensive reviews every three years. The Secretary of Energy must create a public online portal within 18 months housing all scorecards and data, and FERC will maintain a 17-member stakeholder advisory board representing utilities, grid operators, consumers, and energy experts to continuously evaluate and improve the program. This legislation aims to give ratepayers and policymakers clear insight into how transmission companies are investing resources and managing the reliability and efficiency of the electrical grid.
